The Atlas/Louisiana/Zydeco Cajun Prairie Byway (US-190 / LA-13)

Zydeco Cajun Prairie Byway (US-190 / LA-13)

A 283-mile state scenic byway looping through Acadia, St. Landry, and Evangeline parishes in the Cajun heartland, anchored by US-190 and LA-13. The route passes through Eunice (home of the Cajun French Music Hall of Fame), Mamou, Ville Platte, Chicot State Park, crawfish farms, sweet potato fields, and open prairie. Unlike Louisiana's swamp or river roads, this byway emphasizes the rolling Cajun prairie landscape and live music culture of the region.
